Dear Professor Chomsky,
Your career-long critique of the “State-Corporate Complex” has provided an invaluable blueprint for understanding modern power. However, I am curious about what appears to be a significant gap in this analysis: the role of non-regulated resource monopolies.
While your work focuses on the “administrative” levers—media, finance, and government—it rarely addresses the entities that control the physical foundations of industry. For instance, the historic dominance of the Anglo American Corporation (AAC) and De Beers (DAAC) over critical materials like copper, platinum, and industrial diamonds.
My question is one of hierarchy:
-
- If these entities control the finite, physical inputs required for both the modern infrastructure and the “war machine” you critique, does that not make them the ultimate sovereign power?
- In this view, are the political and financial elites you often target merely the service layer for those who own the physical earth?
Why has your analysis prioritized the management of power (propaganda and policy) over the physical ownership of the planetary resources that make that power possible?
Thank you for your lifelong commitment to challenging the status quo.
Sincerely,
Gary S. Gevisser
